This Fanmade R/C Helicarrier Actually Flies

You'll believe a Helicarrier can fly, thanks to this amazing remote-controlled version of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s iconic hovercraft.

Crafted by aviation and Marvel comics experts FliteTest, this homemade Helicarrier would give even Agent Phil Coulson pause. The aircraft even supports R/C smaller airplanes for airborne take-off, making for a Helicarrier that's as functionable as it is fantastic.

But the best part is, you can make the same Helicarrier yourself. FliteTest was kind enough to share the detailed steps they took in creating the ship on their website. It certainly doesn't look like a simple endeavor, but this is S.H.I.E.L.D. we're talking about, here. They wouldn't want to make things too simple. You can check out the instructions, along with more photos of the ship, here. 

Check out FliteTest's video of the Helicarrier in action below, and prepare to get extremely jealous.
